In the shadow of the towering office blocks that occupy Canary Wharf, Greenwich Peninsula’s Now Gallery presents Routine: a new immersive audiovisual installation by Ben Cullen Williams and Gaika.
The two multidisciplinary artists – Williams specialising in sculpture and video, Gaika favouring audio – have set out to explore the human relationship with the stark city landscapes we inhabit. Open until September 3, the installation explores how our lives are interwoven with the urban landscapes that surround us, questioning how can we make a sustainable humane system within cities and how would cities exist without people.
Gaika and Williams achieve this via a multi-channel film which splices together uncompromising cityscapes with human portraits, the experience heightened and guided via a hyperreal spatial audio technology instrument built by L-Acoustics that creates soundscapes built around the experience within the exhibition space.
Here, the pair take us through the making of Routine.
